Maximise use of Screen Real Estate in E-learning Sims Question

Hi All
I am creating some 'try mode' e-learning in storyline 360. I am capturing the recording in resolution 1920x1080 to try and meet the story size of my story (which is set the same).
When I insert the recording in as step by step 'try mode' I am unable to adjust the recording to fill the background of the slide:
And when I publish or preview I see a lot of wasted gray space where I would like to see the screen filling:
I am sure I'm doing something fundamental, can anyone help me out please?
Thanks
Simon

No response yet. Is anyone out there? :)
Sorry, can't help. We build our screen simulations from scratch so we can control them better.
Hi Maura. How do you build your screen simulations from scratch?
I make a recording using Snagit of all of the steps. Export PNGs so that I have them as a reference when I recreate the screens in Illustrator (using artboards that are exactly the same size as the SL project). I do this because we have to redact so much PHI and PII related to healthcare.
From Illustrator, I export a SVG/PNG (I prefer SVG, but sometimes there's a glitch), then import it into Storyline and add triggers for what should happen and also feedback for incorrect choices (often animations).

Great. Yes that reminds me of other projects I have worked on. Get back to fundamentals for ease of revision work that may be required. Thanks
